  <title><![CDATA[Technical Lecture: Medium Voltage Solid State Transformers in Megawatt Charging Applications]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Solid-state transformers (SSTs) are emerging as a key technology in DC infrastructure, offering compact system design by replacing bulky line-frequency transformers with high-frequency switched converters. Among these, the Dual Active Bridge (DAB) topology has gained significant attention and is actively deployed in DC megacharger applications at the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT).</p><p>This session will focus on the implementation of DAB modules for medium-voltage (MV) SSTs in megawatt-level charging applications. Various charging configurations will be explored, highlighting both their opportunities and limitations. Key challenges in MV power electronics converter design will be addressed, along with SST-based solutions that overcome these barriers. Finally, hardware development results and experimental validation will be shared to demonstrate the practical feasibility and performance of DAB-based SSTs in real-world MW charging scenarios. The session aims to highlight both the technological advances achieved at AIT and the remaining research gaps, providing a clear outlook on how DAB-based SSTs can enable the next generation of ultra-fast DC charging infrastructure.</p>]]></body>
